Bhargav Patel, DMD
Dentist | Owner
Dr. Bhargav Patel has dedicated his career to combining science, artistry, and compassion in dentistry. Born and raised in a small town in India once known as “Woodlands”, he grew up surrounded by nature, diverse cultures, and traditions that shaped his appreciation for learning and connection. He earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the College of Dentistry in India, completed his hospital internship at the College of Dentistry Hospital, and later pursued his doctor of dental medicine degree (DMD) at Temple University’s Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry.
Dr. Patel is committed to lifelong learning, having completed continuing education in dental implants, Invisalign, and multiple advanced courses in general dentistry. His dedication to staying at the forefront of dental innovations allows him to offer patients modern, effective, and personalized treatment options. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Maryland State Dental Association, and the Advanced Education in General Dentistry community. Since establishing our practice in 2018, Dr. Patel has built a reputation for his gentle approach and his ability to create transformative, lasting smiles.
For Dr. Patel, dentistry is about more than restoring teeth—it’s about restoring confidence, relieving pain, and improving overall well-being. He takes pride in educating patients in a clear, approachable way, empowering them to take charge of their oral health. Whether he’s easing anxiety with lighthearted conversations or celebrating a patient’s progress, his favorite moments are those where he can witness firsthand the positive ripple effects of a healthy, confident smile.
One of the aspects Dr. Patel loves most about leading his practice is the opportunity to foster meaningful connections—with both patients and his team. He strives to create a positive, uplifting environment where patients feel supported and where his team can thrive personally and professionally. Seeing patients achieve healthier lives and watching his team grow to new heights is what inspires him each day to bring his best to the office.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Patel finds joy in spending quality time with his wife and their three children. Together, they enjoy experiencing life, creating lasting memories, and exploring naturally scenic places that allow them to connect with and learn from nature. His greatest pride lies in guiding his children toward becoming kind, grounded individuals, while also supporting organizations that protect animals and the environment. Whether in the office or at home, Dr. Patel’s life is guided by compassion, positivity, and a desire to help others thrive.
